00:00FAMNO President Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has come to the defense of his deputy,
00:04Mohammad Hassan, dismissing claims linking him to the Negeri Sumbilan administrative crisis.
00:10Zahid said Mohammad, the assemblyman for Rantao in Negeri Sumbilan and former Muntri Basar,
00:15has been consistently working to find solutions to ease the situation.
00:19He said it was unfair to claim that Mohammad, better known as Thutmat,
00:23was the mastermind behind the crisis, Bernama reported.
00:26Zahid added that Mohammad has been in consistent discussions and negotiations with party leaders
00:32to seek a solution.
00:33He was responding to DAP Youth's call for the removal of Mohammad as foreign minister following the crisis,
00:39which saw all 14 UMNO assemblymen in the state withdraw their support from Muntri Basar, Aminuddin
00:45Harun, citing a loss of confidence in the PKR leader.
00:49Yesterday, Negeri Sumbilan UMNO chief Jalaluddin Aliya said the party's assemblymen are prepared
00:54to assume the role of the opposition, despite the party's central leadership having earlier stated
00:59that it would continue to support the state's unity government.
